"1) These aren’t refugees. They’ve lived there for more than 40 years. Sorry, but if you’re born there, or had grandchildren there, I have a hard time calling you a refugee."

Certainly if they were attempting to get out of Gaza to Egypt that would qualify them as “refugees” from Gaza.

I think that you are being a bit defensive in your post. Certainly your earlier post was indeed “dehumanizing.”

No. Since they were still in Gaza - which has been their home and their only home for 40 years - they are not refugees nor did they leave their one and only homeland - Gaza.

“I think that you are being a bit defensive in your post.”

No. You were being a bit politically correct in yours. How long have you been a liberal? Did you always know you were a liberal? Or was it something you adopted after experimenting with the guys at the frat while in college?

“Certainly your earlier post was indeed “dehumanizing.””

Not at all. Listen, when you are no longer politically correct let me know.
